"We are lobbying for the bill HR5566 to pass, so crush videos can be
banned as obscenity!!" they write in an e-mail. "We are urging all our
representatives especially Tom Coburn to pass it, and flooding his
office, phones and facebook with pleas to pass it. Crush videos are
basically snuff-fetish films of puppies and kittens slowly being
tortured to death by stepping on them or crushing them slowly. It was
made legal lately by groups like the ACLU claiming it's freedom of
speech. However, when countries like Korea forbids animal torture, it
makes Americans appear as if we approve of torture by NOT passing
HR5566."

In April, the Supreme Court struck down a law banning crush videos,
on First Amendment grounds.
